Symptoms and Treatments for Kidney Shrinkage
Kidneys are an important
organ of our body, usually the length of the kidney is 10 to 12 cm, the width
is 5 to 6 cm, and the thickness is 3 to 4 cm. But kidneys that
become smaller in size than the normal kidneys are called kidney shrinkage.
If
your kidney is suffering from shrinking problem, you will experience the
following symptoms. Having nausea, vomiting, rash on the skin, having swelling,
body aches, back pain, bleeding in the urine, having high blood pressure, increased
fatigue. Apart from this, the patient may complain of frequent infections and
colds. One of the causes of kidney shrinkage is that sometimes due to
obstructions in the blood supply the kidney tissue cannot develop and thus
hypogenetic kidneys can be less than fifty percent of the size of normal
kidneys, but in time Adequate treatment and better diet planning are helpful in
alleviating this symptom and thus leading to good results.
There are signs of kidney
failure. The patient complains of pain and swelling in the legs, dehydration in
the body, loss of appetite, being tired, muscle pain is a complaint. Visual
obstruction, severe itching, and frequent occurrence of fever. Headache it is
the first symptom that indicates a damaged kidney. Accumulation of fluid in the
tissue causes the kidneys to shrink Swelling of the eyes, pain in the ankles or
legs due to fluid retention does not immediately indicate the presence of a
shrinking kidney. There are many other diseases that can also cause such
symptoms. If the person concerned has to go to the toilet frequently and the
urge to urinate is especially strong at night, this condition is advanced
kidney damage. Sometimes it can already be a sign that the kidneys will soon
stop working.
There are two main causes
of kidney stones. Hereditary and congenital factors, family relationships and
lifestyle affect a pregnant woman. This disease can also be transmitted from an
affected member of the family to the child. The symptoms of this disease
transfer from one to another are more common and in this case, the kidneys are
smaller than the normal kidney size at birth. These kidney problems in general
are more common especially in acute kidney disease. Kidney disease can cause
damage to the nephrons and glomeruli necrosis, which causes progressive kidney
shrinkage. People with CKD stage, kidney failure, diabetic nephropathy, and
hypertensive nephropathy are at higher risk of kidney shrinkage.
The goal of treating
kidney stones is to repair tissue damage and improve kidney function by
reducing symptoms. Before planning a treatment plan for this problem, doctors
perform basic tests to find out the causes of kidney shrinkage, such as CT
scans and MRIs, which can help diagnose the disease. This treatment helps to
promote blood circulation to deliver more blood and oxygen to the affected
tissues. When the damaged glomeruli are able to heal and function again, the
glomeruli begin to shrink automatically. During its treatment, high blood
pressure reduction, relief from back pain and anemia etc. are being treated.
The patient's diet and
his lifestyle are very important in healing from any disease, that's why
caution is necessary. People suffering from kidney shrinkage should eat a
low-salt, low-fat, low-potassium diet. Avoid fast food, processed and frozen
foods, as most of these foods are high in salt and potassium. Such patients
need to consume adequate amounts of high-quality protein, avoid unhealthy fats,
but fish oil and flaxseed are very good for their health. A patient may suffer
from mineral and vitamin deficiency due to kidneys dysfunction. Iron deficiency
anemia, and vitamin D deficiency can increase calcium absorption. Apart from
this, the patient needs to make some changes in his lifestyle. Live a normal
life by giving up smoking and all drugs. Do moderate exercise daily. Avoid flu
and infections.
